Options

parameter	required	default	choices	comments
action	no	present	stop start pause unpause lock unlock suspend resume	Perform the given action. The lock and unlock actions always return changed as the servers API does not provide lock status.
api_timeout	no	None		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth	no			Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type	no	password		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone	no			Name of the availability zone.
cacert	no	None		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert	no	None		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction
cloud	no			Named cloud to operate against. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
endpoint_type	no	public	public internal admin	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.
key	no	None		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction
region_name	no			Name of the region.
server	yes			Name or ID of the instance
timeout	no	180		How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs	no	True		Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. aliases: verify
wait	no	yes	yes no	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Examples

# Pauses a compute instance
- os_server_actions:
       action: pause
       auth:
         auth_url: https://mycloud.openstack.blueboxgrid.com:5001/v2.0
         username: admin
         password: admin
         project_name: admin
       server: vm1
       timeout: 200

Notes

Note

The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

Note

Auth information is driven by os-client-config, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config
